COVID Kidnapped My Smell and Taste

Just two days ago, I lost my sense of smell. I can’t taste either. Nothing. It never occurred to me how important those two senses were, until they were disabled.

After years of escaping COVID, it finally caught me. Knocked me out. I’ve been in bed for almost a week. Have had a fever for six days. Almost glad I can’t smell, because I’m too feeble to take a shower.
